Summerland Festival: Call for Presenters

Summerland 2026: Offerings & Oracles will return to Camp Clifton, August 13th-16th, and we are seeking presenter proposals!

What are we looking for?

First and foremost, proposals should speak to our 2026 theme, “Offerings and Oracles.” Though our practices differ, we share in the essentials: through offerings we build relationships, and through oracles we communicate with the spirits. As we return to the magic of this festival we look to share in wisdom and to commune with the spirits, with the natural world, and with each other. There is joy and strength in the connections we form, supported by our shared wisdom.

While our festival has deep roots in our own druid tradition, we’re looking for proposals from across the many pagan traditions. No matter your practice, we invite you to share it with us. That includes presentations that aren’t explicitly spiritual, but that would appeal to festival-goers: are you a botanist? A historian? An artist or crafter? We want to hear from you.

We want to showcase both experienced voices and new ones. We deeply respect the wisdom that comes from long experience, and many of our presenters have presented at numerous festivals previously. But we also strive to create a community that welcomes bravery and experimentation. If you’ve been wanting to share your wisdom but haven’t yet gotten up the courage, this is the place!

And finally, we’re seeking proposals that engage festival-goers. Some topics are best suited to a lecture-style presentation, and we get that. But at the many festivals we attended we often find that the most exciting presentations are the ones with hands-on experience, whether that’s ritual, trance, crafting, writing, or beyond. When planning your proposal, think about whether there’s a way to engage your audience more deeply.
